ABSTRACT:
A root feeding stake includes a funnel having a downspout that surmounts a first end of an elongate hollow tube. A second end of the elongate hollow tube is connected to a truncate hollow tube and a second end of the truncate hollow tube is connected to a leading section having a pointed end to facilitate its entry into soil. When installed, the leading section and the truncate hollow tube are below a ground surface and the funnel and elongate hollow tube are above the ground. Perforations are formed in the truncate hollow tube and a barrier is provided between the truncate hollow tube and the leading section so that water and liquid nutrients poured into the funnel flow through the downspout, the elongate hollow tube, and into the ground through the perforations. The perforations are formed in a predetermined sector of the truncate hollow tube to aim the water and liquid nutrients at the roots of a plant near which the stake is positioned.
